Outstanding review. I just read the book as well and it is a bit overwhelming. Closed ended funds seem to be at higher risk of having issues with the real estate rental market in such disarray and the negative results won't really hit until next year. My challenge is how do I know if these CEFs are are good value right now or am I buying at the high. Then if they cut their distributions I would have to believe my sale price to get rid of them would go down significantly (if I can even find buyer). I would like to pursue but not sure how. It would be helpful to have someone analyze them based on the author's guidance and posted the top five recommended.
